OUR TEAM
2023/2024 Officers
Ryan Klima
President
Hello! My name is Ryan and I’m a senior from Waterford, Wisconsin studying economics. This will be my second year on the team and first year as President. I am relatively new to riding, and learned a lot my first year. I’m very happy that I had the opportunity to join and I’ve loved my time on the team. I’m looking forward to another fun year.
Gretchen North
Vice President
Hey! I'm Gretchen and I'm a fourth-year student studying Fisheries, Wildlife, & Conservation Biology from Minneapolis, Minnesota. While I love all animals, horses have always had a special place in my heart. Growing up in the city, I never had the opportunity to own my own horse, so being a part of this team has been an amazing way to spend more time riding and to meet fellow riders. This will be my fourth year on the team and I can't wait for another year of riding, showing, and team shenanigans!
Olivia Nehring
Secretary
Hi! My name is Olivia Nehring and I and a sophomore studying mechanical engineering. This will be my second year on the team. I have been riding horses for seven years. During the summer I barrel race with my horse Pip. I am excited for another fun year!
Katie Keegan
Western Team Captain
Fundraising
Hey! I’m Katie and I am a junior from Oak Park, Illinois, studying Chemistry! This is my third year on the team, my second year as captain for the Western Team, and my first year as Fundraising chair! I have been riding and showing Arabian horses for about 13 years in the Saddle seat division! Joining the team was nerve wracking since I had never sat on western horse but it was easily the best decision I have made in college. I am looking forward to a great year ahead!
Grace Williams
Treasurer
Hi! My name is Grace and I’m from Prior Lake, Minnesota. I’m a junior studying strategic communication and economics. This is both my second year on the team and second year as treasurer. I’ve been riding and showing arabian horses in hunter pleasure for about 10 years. The team has been a great opportunity to learn a new discipline and meet new people, so I’m very excited for this coming year!
